While out getting my photo done done today, I stopped to make use of facilities at her house before heading home, and was delighted at the system they've got for hand-washing. The sink is on top of the toilet tank, so that when you flush the toilet water starts running into the sink, with which you can wash your hands, and that water then fills the tank ready for the next flush. A truly brilliant idea. I bet that it will encourage folk to actually wash their hands, because the water runs till the tank is re-filled, so if it is there, you may as well use it! And you don't need to touch the knob to turn it off afterwards, which is good since you turned it on with your un-washed hands. It is also set up in typical Australian fashion with a choice between "half-flush" and "full flush" depending upon what needs to be flushed this time.
